Resonant Leadership Exercise: Rhythms in My Life
On a sheet of paper, write the current year at the top of the left-hand side of the page. Underneath it, write the years in descending order from this year all the way back to when you were born. Next to any of the years, write any event or experience that you considered at the time or now consider to have been important in your life. The years are listed as a memory aid; it is not necessary to write something into each year. Possible categories reflecting aspects of life to consider in completing this list are: physical or personal health events (e.g., turning 50, surgery); relationship events (e.g., marriage, birth of a child, divorce); spiritual (e.g., finding and joining a church, temple mosque); emotional (e.g., death of a parent, a vacation or trip that opened a new horizon in life); intellectual (e.g., a book that inspired a new way of looking at life); financial (e.g., being laid off, achieving a major financial goal); avocational, such as hobbies, interests, or sports (e.g., shooting under 80 at golf, writing a song that was recorded, skydiving); and so forth. But they should be important events in your life.
A hint about this form: most people find that in completing this form, they do not follow a logical time sequence as they did for the career history. In other words, you may remember or think of a major event that occurred ten years ago that reminds you of something that happened earlier and another event that happened more recently. Feel free to add items to this list in whatever order works for you. It may require several sessions in which you reflect on your life and think about the events mentioned on this list. Do not feel constrained by the space provided for any given year. Use additional paper to add items for particular years. Most people find it useful to note items going back to their twenties, but some find it important to go back further. Add more years if necessary.
Look at the number of years between major life events. Is there a rhythm to when you feel the need for a change or when changes seem to occur? If so, where are you in the current rhythm and when should you listen for a wake-up call?

Resonant Leadership - Exercise: Is That a Wake-up Call?
Sometimes, wake-up calls come in the form of a dramatic life even such as the birth of a child, a death in the family, or an unexpected change in job. Other times, wake-up calls are more subtle and come as a result of gradual changes in life or work, or as a result of a combination of a few, seemingly minor, alterations to a familiar lifestyle. Monitoring the bigas well as the smallerchanges in work or personal life is a way to stay tuned in to our own wake-up calls, and to have more control over our present as well as our future. Consider the following examples of common wake-up calls. Have you experienced any of these in the recent past, or are you experiencing them now? Are there other, more subtle, life events not on the list that could be a wake up call for you?
Recently I have experienced:
- Divorce or separation
- Move to a new home
- Death in the family or support network
- Promotion
- Significant medical diagnosis
- Physical injury
- Significant loss of physical capacity
- Anniversary of a significant event
- Car accident
- Marriage
- Significant job change
- Job loss
- Birth of a child
- Significant financial loss or gain
- Life cycle changes (children leaving home, etc.)
- Significant success or failure in a project
- Change in the amount/type of medication
- Significantly more time away from home (e.g., travel for work)
- Significantly less quality time with family or friends
- Important new relationship (love, friendship, boss)
- Noticeable gain or loss of weight
- A sense of boredom or frustration with life or work
- World events that have impacted me personally (psychologically or otherwise)
- Disruption or dissatisfaction with an important relationship (spouse, child, friend boss)
- Completion of a major project
- Change in lifelong habits (e.g., exercise spiritual practice, hobbies)
